Illinois implemented a custom energy code for buildings based on the 2021 International Energy Conservation Code this year. The state joins 13 others that have adopted minimum energy codes based on the 2021 IECC or its equivalent, as well as the U.S. Dept. of Energy which has put in place similar requirements for newly built and retrofitted buildings owned by the federal government.

Advocates say the tool required under the new law should make energy saving programs by Dominion Energy and Appalachian Power more transparent and effective.

Through a strategic research partnership focused on CERN’s cooling and ventilation systems, energy efficiency audits have helped to identify a savings potential of 17.4% across a total of 800 motors

Representatives from Dominion Energy South Carolina, Berkeley Electric Cooperative and Santee Cooper are providing their customers ways to save on their energy bills as October is Energy Awareness Month.

The Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy of Korea has fully launched an energy efficiency rating system for electric vehicles, categorizing 278 models into five levels.

The paper industry has become a part of the modern economies as it supplies everything from office supplies to packaging materials. And also, this industry is one of the most energy-consuming industries globally.

Saving energy directly increases profitability. However, it is sometimes overlooked in cost control. By benchmarking yourself, you can find your energy saving potential, which could add up to 30% of your total energy consumption in the plastics industry. A more detailed view at the machine-level of energy use could unlock a whole array of benefits.

The Vietnamese government’s new decree, announced at the end of October, encourages the development of self-consumption rooftop solar power systems. However, many investors feel that the regulatory details are unclear, making the application process much more difficult.

The government also identified two tiers of support under the grant.

Making motors more efficient is a more immediate solution that reduces energy consumption and cuts costs at the same time. The IEA has said that energy efficiency would provide a third of all emissions reductions in their Net Zero Emissions by 2050 scenario.

In the plastics industry, the dual goals of economic efficiency and energy conservation are critical for achieving a sustainable and cost-effective future. As the demand for streamlined and environmentally friendly production increases, plastics manufacturers are challenged to innovate while maintaining responsible production practices.

Report concludes using reverse-cycle air conditioning instead of gas ducted heating could save households between $999 to $2,215 a year.

RapidRate is an innovative tool that can estimate the energy efficiency performance of Australia’s 11 million residential properties.

Energy demand – how much energy we use – is a surprisingly under-explored area in the drive to cut carbon emissions and fight the climate crisis. But for energy users who take action in this area, there is “extraordinary potential,” the World Economic Forum says.

Schools, pools, and hospitals will be supported to make energy efficient upgrades, and businesses with high energy use will receive funding to help cut bills and emissions.

Australian Energy Ministers will decide whether to implement proposed Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS) for lighting, including light emitting diodes (LEDs).

Bulla y Salcedo Ingeniería, Merus Power’s local partner in Colombia, is at the forefront of introducing high-efficiency energy solutions to the Colombian steel industry. This partnership has enabled the implementation of the first reactive power compensation system in the country at Grupo Siderúrgico Reyna’s (GSR) steel facility, utilizing a static synchronous compensator, Merus® STATCOM.

Homes that meet recommended air tightness levels have lower energy bills and healthier indoor air quality, with the study also identifying the factors – and rooms – that caused leakages in most new homes.

The current decade is critical to limit temperature rise to 1.5°C: directing investments towards low- and zero-emissions technologies is instrumental to achieving the Paris Agreement target.

The project was commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and ran from 2015 to 2021.
